This thread shows Salmon, a warm tone that glows on light ground and stays clearly readable on dark. The large cone carries 2500 m of overlock thread, printed with colour code 71843. The cone is sold singly.
Overlock thread is softer than sewing thread, so a finished edge adds no bulk and does not feel hard. The cone is cleanly wound and feeds without loops. With four threads running at once that counts more than usual. A large cone survives several projects before it runs out.
What Trojalock Overlockgarn Lachs is suitable for
- neatening edges on wovens
- rolled hems on light fabrics
- looper threads in a neutral tone
Sewing tips
- Für den Vierfadenstich vier Spulen, für den Dreifadenstich drei.
- Nadelfäden in der Stoffarbe, Greiferfäden ruhig neutral — das spart beim Farbwechsel Zeit.
- Die Fadenspannung etwas geringer wählen als beim Nähgarn, das Garn ist weicher.
- Erst einen Probestreifen auf demselben Stoff nähen und dann nachstellen.
- Spulen stehend und vor Licht geschützt lagern; ein Netz verhindert das Abwickeln.
Available in more colours in the Trojalock Overlockgarn series.
Frequently asked questions
Does it suit a coverstitch machine?
Yes. A coverstitch machine takes the same soft thread; only the tension has to match. On visible cover seams it pays to match the tone closely to your fabric.
Does the seam take hot washing?
Yes, this thread is colourfast and copes with usual temperatures. Your fabric sets the limit: wash the piece as its material allows, not as the thread could.
Does it suit rolled hems?
Yes, particularly. On a rolled hem the looper thread lies visible along the edge, so here the colour decides the look rather than just the function.
Can I neaten jersey with it?
Yes, that is the normal case. An overlock seam stretches with the fabric, and the soft thread adds no bulk to the edge — together that makes it right for knits.
